Prospective Teachers' Appraisals of Technology Platforms: Comparing Perception and Complexity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Amador, Julie M.; Kosko, Karl W.; Weston, Tracy; Estapa, Anne – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2021
The use of technology affords opportunities for prospective teachers to engage in actions that are proximal to the work of teaching. The authors designed a task in which prospective teachers (n = 95) at four institutions created an animation or depiction of a classroom scenario using one of two technology platforms: GoAnimate or…

Amador, Julie M.; Estapa, Anne; Kosko, Karl; Weston, Tracy – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In recent years, teacher professional noticing has become more prevalent internationally. One common definition to distinguish professional noticing from everyday noticing includes the three interrelated skills of attending, interpreting and deciding to respond. We used qualitative analysis to explore prospective teachers' approximations of…

Weston, Tracy; Kosko, Karl; Amador, Julie; Estapa, Anne – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2018
In this mixed methods study, we used a convergent parallel design to create and analyze a task that was implemented across four US institutions with 99 preservice teachers (PSTs) using one of two multi-media platforms: LessonSketch or GoAnimate. We analyzed PSTs' comic-based depictions or animations to examine the level of sophistication for…

Animations as a Transformational Approximation of Practice for Preservice Teachers to Communicate Professional Noticing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Amador, Julie; Weston, Tracy; Estapa, Anne; Kosko, Karl; De Araujo, Zandra – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2016
This paper explores the use of animations as an approximation of practice to provide a transformational technology experience for elementary mathematics preservice teachers. Preservice teachers in mathematics methods courses at six universities (n = 126) engaged in a practice of decomposing and approximating components of a fraction lesson. Data…

de Araujo, Zandra; Amador, Julie; Estapa, Anne; Weston, Tracy; Aming-Attai, Rachael; Kosko, Karl W. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2015
The incorporation of animation in mathematics teacher education courses is one method for transforming practices and promoting practice-based education. Animation can be used as an approximation of practice that engages preservice teachers (PSTs) in creating classroom scenes in which they select characters, regulate movement, and construct…
